Results were obtained from five LX-13 batches formulated from PETN precipitated previously by the continuous method. Extrudability results indicate that a reduced temperature improves extrudability. Detonability was improved over previous continuous batches. Three additional batches of PETN have been precipitated at reduced temperatures to evaluate the effect of temperature on extrudability and detonability.
